Ok, this appears to be a GNOME-specific error message. Could you restart the computer, try to log in, wait until that message pops up, don't close the message, switch to another console (Ctrl+Alt+F2) and run the following command as root? journalctl -b1 -n40 _UID=1000 (Replace 1000 with your user id, you can look it via running id in the console as your normal user; 1000 is the default for the first user created by the Debian installer.) See if there's anything in that output that might be relevant here. > The /etc/apt/sources.list: > =================================================================== > root@robbe:~# cat /etc/apt/sources.list > # deb http://ftp.at.debian.org/debian/ wheezy main > > # deb http://backports.debian.org/debian-backports wheezy-backports non-free > deb http://ftp.at.debian.org/debian/ jessie-backports main contrib non-free > > deb http://ftp.at.debian.org/debian/ jessie main contrib non-free > deb-src http://ftp.at.debian.org/debian/ jessie main contrib non-free > > deb http://security.debian.org/ jessie/updates main contrib non-free > deb-src http://security.debian.org/ jessie/updates main contrib non-free > > # wheezy-updates, previously known as 'volatile' > deb http://ftp.at.debian.org/debian/ jessie-updates main contrib non-free > deb-src http://ftp.at.debian.org/debian/ jessie-updates main contrib non-free > > deb http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/ jessie-backports main contrib non-free > =================================================================== Side note: you have jessie-backports in there twice (first and last uncommented line), but that's completely harmless. Otherwise, looks fine. Could you run apt-get update apt-get dist-upgrade and see if it still wants to upgrade additional software? Also, what kernel version are you running? (Find that out via the command "uname -a".) Regards, Christian
